in the late 1960's, richard nixon, when he was elected president, he won 103 electoral votes, not so far from the 270 needed for a majority. the electors had selected george wallace. there is concern that those electors would be susceptible to pressure. and there was a move to get rid of the electoral college and go to a popular vote. it did not get passed the senate. if there was a tie, i'm sure you'd have some lobbying of the selectors to change their vote. in some states, but not all states, there are laws that require or at least push the electors to vote for the presidential candidates for whom they originally supported. but it is not really clear whether those laws are constitutional. host: what if they become split as far as the electors are concerned? guest: suppose maryland, a safely democratic state, votes for barack obama. in voting for barack obama, those voters are selecting a slate of directors pledged to barack obama. so there would not be any split when they actually meet in the state capital. host: dan on the independent line. caller: i will be voting today, but i th

or you could see somebody like marco rubio doing it richard nixon and coming from the angry side and seeking roots into the more moderate base. >> we sit here and talk about how the republican party needs to moderate. those same discussions are not happening in iowa. in fact, it is the opposite. they are saying, we have nominated two moderates in a row. look where it has gotten us, no where. i think it will start to see people like rand paul. and certainly, bobby jindal from louisiana. it will make a trip for two and test the waters. -- they will make a trip or two and test the waters. this new class, how are they going to react to being led? are they going to be able to be led? >> i think no one knows. that is kind of the point. in comparison to the enormous freshman class that we just had and everyone makes so much noise about, it is really instructive. considering the number of open seats that were left open for retirement and redistricting and so on and so forth, incumbents who lost, there will be more members of the house with fewer than two terms of experience in the 113th cong
